Format Sequence

In this section, we'll explain the format function to transform a sequence from a format to another.

Formats Available
Right now, the formats available are:
 * Plain Sequence: sequence containing just nitrogenous bases.
 * FASTA: there's no standard definition for FASTA in terms on line length, ePathway will use a default line length of 50 nitrogenous bases. FASTA contains a line with a description of the sequence.

Formatting
First step is to input the sequence on the text area, this sequence will be the one to be transformed.

Following the sequence, you should select the format of the sequence, both the sequence and the format are required, you can not format a sequence without setting both of those.

There's another input to write a little description for the sequence, this description will be used when the format is FASTA, if you input the description and select Plain Sequence the description will be ignored.

Results
On the lower section of the screen, you are going to find a table, by default it is empty because there's no sequence to format. Once ePathway finishes formatting the sequence, it will populate the table iwth both the format and the resulting sequence.
